Districts faced more scrutiny than ever — with the media tracking remote learning and safety measures as closely as rising COVID-19 cases and with parents gaining a daily window into what their students were (or weren’t) learning. Districts also dealt with the operational and instructional hurdles of “emergency room-to-Zoom” and keeping staff and students healthy, two challenges they had never faced before
